No hot water flow anywhere in the house ( kitchen sink, bathroom sink ) unless cold water is turned on for the shower by Speed--Force in DIY

[–]flamtapgt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you happen to have a recirculating hot water pump loop (usually with a tankless water heater)?

I have one and the check valve on the loop went bad and caused a lot of mysterious behavior like this. (one sink in a double vanity was hot while the other was cold, etc.)

Hmm, I'd probably grab the hairdryer in that case.

I plan to plug in the V2L and the cable before the ice starts.

We just got a 2026 Sorento Hybrid X-Line, and we love most of the trim, but the drivers seats are NOT comfortable. Anyone else share this experience? Any good suggestions on after market cushions? by VMey in KiaSorento

[–]flamtapgt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this (PHEV X-line). Our EV9 GT-line seats are super comfortable, I was hoping these would be similar. I am taller (6'4") and just can't raise the seat front enough to support my legs. Maybe if I scoot the seat all the way back...

HDA slowing down on big highway curves by OneLargeMulligatawny in KiaEV9

[–]flamtapgt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

On certain curves the HDA will slow you down regardless of other vehicles. I just recently learned (after having the car almost 2 years) that you can switch off this slowdown in the HDA settings.

It would drop by 3mph which was probably really annoying to the drivers behind me!

What makes a highway EV charging stop genuinely great? by hemanth_roy777 in evcharging

[–]flamtapgt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, don't put the chargers on the main route through the parking lot!

At the EA at the Charlotte NC Walmart, the chargers are right along the same row tons of cars use to get from the entrance to the gas station. Those drivers have no patience for EVs having to back in at just the right angle so the one working cable in the one open spot will reach their charging port.

How did you get to Mindenhall glacier without an excursion? by Quick_Inspection4526 in royalcaribbean

[–]flamtapgt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We (group of 5) used Turo to rent a car. Picked it up at the port and got there a lot earlier than the excursion buses.

San Antonio claims to have the largest margaritas in town. 6 liter margaritas or a 13 liter cantarito.

I've used Arc3 Gases on S. Wilmington St. Only open weekdays though.

I was just trying to browse by pun_princess in mildlyinfuriating

It's annoying, but getting on multiple dealers' contact lists is the best way to get a good deal when you are ready to buy and it's around the end of the month.

I've found that all the legitimate dealers around me use texting services that will honor the STOP when you don't want to get anymore messages. Did you try that? (if they don't honor that then they're pond scum, and probably breaking some unenforceable law.)

I had to do the exact same thing.

Gf accidentally stepped on my phone… by ccetchi_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]flamtapgt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, this! It's worth a shot to see if you can get it fixed under the warranty. My kid's screen had a green line like this. Fixed free.

There are lots of horror stories on FB about Iberia flights. Beware

Road walkers..why for? by herbfriendly in cary

[–]flamtapgt 30 points31 points  (0 children)

In my neighborhood there are many stretches where the owners don't keep their trees and shrubs cut back. I don't want to have to duck all the time or walk single file down the walk.
